The Last Temptation of Christ (1988): 3 lines

  1. career (personal projection) · through After Hours (1985), which they scored: The Last Temptation of Christ ⇒ After Hours (the maker said so: Scorsese quoted in an oral history). Scorsese worked Kafka's Before the Law into the club doorman scene to reflect his frustration over Last Temptation.

Alfred Hitchcock: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Seven (1995), which they scored: Alfred Hitchcock ⇒ Seven (the host's read). Se7en is a Hitchcock movie in its pulling-your-chain structure of mystery, reveal and anxiety, and Hitchcock is Fincher's biggest influence.
